  • Erick "Jesus" Coomes & Adam Deitch of Lettuce - The Heart of the Groove
    Oct 18 2024
    Have you ever wondered how a band can create such a profound connection with its audience, turning every note into a lifeline? This week, we're thrilled to have Erick "Jesus" Coomes & Adam Deitch of Lettuce on No Simple Road as part of the lead up to the upcoming Hulaween happening October 24th -27th in Live Oak, Fl. at The Spirit of Swanee Music Park! From expressing gratitude for the deep impact of albums like "Crush" to the magic of live performances, Lettuce reveals the secrets behind their enduring passion for music and the joy of evolving shows that continue to captivate fans. Jesus and Deitch take us inside their dynamic world of on-the-spot improvisation, where up to 75% of their performances are created in the moment. They reveal how the energy shared between musicians and their audiences not only transcends individual egos but also serves as a powerful equalizer and source of healing. We explore the almost spiritual experience of live music, touching on themes of community, connection, and the irreplaceable joy of being part of a concert. We highlight the journey of this incredible band, illustrating the thrill of releasing live albums and being invited to festivals like Hulaween. Alongside Lettuce, we reflect on the responsibility of musicians to foster a communal experience, enriching the music scene by creating a unified space where everyone can share in the revelry, healing, and joy that music brings. Join us for this inspiring conversation and celebrate the wonder of shared musical experiences.

  • Brick Lohr of The Ramble Festival - From Contracts To Concerts
    Oct 11 2024
    Leaving the high-stakes world of government defense contracting isn't something many do on a whim, but that's exactly what Brick Lohr did after a life-changing trek along the Appalachian Trail. What was meant to be a brief stop in Asheville turned into a winding adventure through the local music scene, sparking new friendships and opportunities. Brick’s candid account of this journey sheds light on the courage it takes to walk away from a steady paycheck and embrace a world fueled by passion for live music—a world that feels more like home than any corporate office ever did. Brick's vision for the Ramble Festival is more than just a lineup of bands; it's a carefully crafted community space where authenticity thrives. From the vibrant art installations and second line parades to a one-of-a-kind busking competition for up-and-coming musicians, the festival is designed to be a holistic celebration of music and human connection. This conversation unpacks the thoughtful decisions—like selecting bands only after witnessing their live energy—that make this event a true reflection of shared musical experiences and genuine connection. But it isn’t all easygoing vibes and musical harmony; challenges like limited budgets and slow ticket sales test the festival's resilience. Yet, through these hurdles, Brick’s dream persists, held up by the festival’s community-first ethos and the return of participants who cherish the festival's atmosphere over any headliner. Our discussion also touches on how the festival's inclusive nature, accommodating families and children, fosters a timeless sense of wonder that transcends generations. Brick's story is a testament to the magic that happens when you trust the universe, let go of control, and follow your true calling.
